What To Do When God Is Involved In Reshaping Your Life

By Ann Miller


There are lots of ugly experiences in this world. The challenges people face are not peculiar to a particular race or tribe. Real-life correlates with what the wise man, King Solomon, meant when he said that nothing under the sun is new. Sometimes, God allows these things to come close when he is looking for ways of reshaping your life. No matter how difficult they may be, He has also promised that He will be there. It is easier to notice God even in the midst of these troubles by praying and reading the Bible.

You can employ different ways to read the Bible during this time. One of them is through the use of a devotional. If you use a devotional, you are eager to see the next day so that you can have a clearer picture of how a story or admonition ended. Going through the writer's commentaries will also help to build your faith in God the more.

Also, try to make it a routine. Choose a particular time of the day to read your Bible. As that time draws closer, you feel a kind of intimacy with God. Remember He is the only one who is capable of giving you life in a new dimension.

If you attend a church that organizes early morning prayers or there is one around you doing that, participating in it before going to work or school will help to reshape your life to a large extent. The prayers made by the pastor conducting the service can go a long way in helping you out of any predicaments. You will also be more assured of God's presence with you throughout the day.

Apps for phones now make reading God's word easier. Some of them keep popping up Bible verses on your screen while others send the verses every day at a particular time. Some apps also have bible passages for different situations people face in life. For example, in times of lack, you can see what God wants you to know at that time.

Sometimes, God brings the passages of the scriptures that are needful for each day's challenges in the devotionals. Failure to take down notes and go through them later in the day may make you forget what God was saying to you earlier and you may not be able to pass the test that you would have easily scaled through if you were more serious with your devotion. This is why you should get some notes with a Bible and devotional during your quiet time.

Emails containing messages, articles, and expositions on the word of God can get you closer to Him. Hence, it is necessary to subscribe for daily posts so long as you will make it a point of duty to check the emails every day. Some of the emails contain newsletters explaining how God recently helped someone overcome a big challenge such as what was recorded concerning Job in the Bible.

The conclusion of the matter is that it is unacceptable to give up even in times of trials. When you consider trials as an important tool to reshape your life, just be assured that in the midst of the battles, God is there to save you. Listening to the pastors, reading God's word always and praying continuously are sure ways to overcome any challenge at all.
